Prayer Request
As you know my son graduated early last year
at 16, he is now 17 and of course knows everything (I am just the mom).
He has been going to college, and we are grateful for that.
Since he graduated he has contemplated going into the military.
Seriously, I have no problem with the military and I honor and salute
our brave men and women who proudly serve our country.
My problem is when his father and I ask if he has prayed about this
decision he changes the subject, avoids answering and gets angry feeling like we
are questioning or making fun of his descision. He has changed his mind form
the Marines, to the Air Force and now to the NAVY.
He won't even talk about this with us except to "sign here" as he is still a minor.
He will be 18 in May.
Tomorrow he takes the ASVAB
and he will have some career choices to make
in the next two days. I can't imagine making life changing decisions
without first seeking God and His will for my life.
He is a believer and knows this.
Why he isn't seeking God in these matters I do not know.
This morning he told me
"I don't have to pray about this, I made a decision and I'm sticking to it."
PLEASE
be praying for him, I know he just thinks
we are tryng to influence his decision -
truly we know that it is his to make we just want
to be sure that he is making the right choice for him
and that this is God's will for his life.
We are praying for wisdom and discernment,
that he will hear God's voice and make decisions based on God's will for his life.
Thank you, I am sure that you can understand my concerns
and so very much appreciate your prayers.
May God bless your family.

It's so hard to be a parent! Hugs and prayers to you and your family, Rita.
Cute card, too!
Adorable card!
Praying in agreement with you that he will seek God's will above all else!
i stopped to pray for him.
Oh, Rita, hugs for you. The future always arrives just a little before we are ready to give up the past. Sometimes we just have to close our eyes and trust that all the things we have taught are in there somewhere. He will choose on his own, but that doesn't mean he doesn't hear you.
Take care of you Pam
